100 Books in 2018 - Book List

100 Books in 2018 - Book List

Mar 25, 2018

I have set a rather ambitious goal for the remainder of 2018… Better late then never, right? For 2018, I am embarking on a journey of learning as much as I can. I am encouraged by a friend who is doing a similar challenge… So, I have set a goal to read 100 books in 2018.

A few people have already asked for my list, recommendations, thoughts and reviews. I put together this page, a collection of the books I’ve read, and for a select few, a link to my review. You can also check out my GoodReads profile here.

If you have any suggestions I should add to my list, please share! Hope you enjoy.
